i was watching tori & dean about three weeks ago. they were sitting outside near their garden and it was so cute! i knew that we had to do one for the boys!!! jq really does not like when i get these ideas...because it usually means work for him.

quinn came into the living room the other night with his backpack on...he said he was ready for school. he then put up his finger and said "i need a hat." quinn has a thing about hats. pops will find random ones and bring them to quinn. the hat that quinn came out of his room with...was the lovely red mule day hat. cracks me up!!!

here quinn is ready for school...

i can promise you that quinn will NOT go to school in this lovely outfit or better yet...even out of the house!!!

today...qualls wore two outfits to church that quinn wore...i found the pictures of quinn and took some of qualls...

just for comparison...

qualls...

quinn...

funny quinn stories of the day...

after the lord's supper this morning at church...the collection plate was being passed...i had given quinn a $5 dollar bill to put in the plate...when the plate got to quinn...he put the money behind his back and put his cracker (that he was snacking on) into the plate. needless to say...everyone around us got a good laugh.

every night...we say a bedtime prayer. quinn folds his hands and closes his eyes...after i say amen...quinn says "amen" and claps then gives me a thumbs up with a "way cool, momma"...well, he did it today too...after the opening prayer at church...in his loud quinn voice. another laugh was had by everyone around us.

at least...he keeps us on our toes...and the thing is...qualls is right on his heels...

the "cousin" crew got together yesterday for a fun day at the zoo. i think we along with every elementary school in the area thought it was a good day to visit the zoo. it was crowded but fun!!! the kids had a great time!!! next time...we are going to go on monday!!!

cousin kathryn pointed out the monkeys to quinn

sweet qualls had fun!!!

sticking his tongue out at me!!! i think he was tired of the camera!!!

a little sassy boy!!!

checking out the zebras...

looking at the alligators...

after we got home...we went to gigi and pops' house for supper.

we had a great day!!!

the other day...jq and quinn went to wal-mart for a couple of things. jq said that the marketers are after 2 year olds...because when quinn saw chuck e cheese...he had to have the string cheese. then, he saw lightening mcqueen and had to have the soup...cracks me up!!!

our sweet qualls turned 6 months old on the 5th of april. i cannot believe how 1/2 a year has flown by...it is hard to believe that in 6 more months...qualls will be a year old. makes me sad!!! but as my granny/memaw tells me..."you would be worried if he didn't grow"...so, i guess i am happy that he is a healthy little chunky baby boy!!! we went for our 6 month visit today.

qualls weighed almost 21lbs and is 28in. long. he is in the 95% in both!!! we use to call quinn our "chunky monkey" but qualls is for sure our "chunky monkey." he is such a sweet and good natured baby and we cannot imagine what life was before he was born on october 5th!!!

here are a couple of his 6 month pictures with his humpty dumpty...

what is qualls up to at 6 months?

has been sick pretty much the whole month

has slept pretty good when he was able to breathe and not cough constantly...he will go sometimes up to 10 hours...which is wonderful!!! now, if his brother would only cooperate! :0)

wears mostly 12 month clothes but can wear some 18 month

wears a size 3 diaper

loves his exercauser and jumper

loves his big brother and his brother is beginning to love him

is kind of a mommy's boy (i love this one)

still loves his thumb

can sit up by himself pretty well...he is still doing the tripod sit but i am thinking in the next couple of days...he will master the sitting up thing

has to be sung to and tapped hard on the bottom to go to sleep...he pretty much has to cry himself to sleep...people laugh at us putting him to sleep if they have not seen it before.

drinks 4 to 5 bottles a day (8oz)...for a total of 32 to 40oz.

started solids...loves oatmeal and has tried squash, sweet potatoes and carrots. he loves his food!!! he looks like a little bird when he eats with his mouth constantly open. very sweet!!!

we cannot wait to see what the next month brings...a lot of fun...we are sure of!!!
